I've often wondered if these dealers don't get reimbursed enough by Ford to make it worth their time.

What else do they do with their time then? I thought the vast majority of their business was warranty work? Most people whose cars are out of warranty don't take them to a dealer for repairs. I can see some shops avoiding certain high-risk jobs though.

I noticed this same leak on my SEL when peforming the first oil change. I took it to the dealership for them to check and was also told it was excess lubricant seeping out from the assembly of the car. I simply told them okay and that I would keep an eye on it. I did not notice anything seeping out when I did my last oil change, which would be its fourth oil change as I have about 28K miles on my car already.

That dealer, or at least it's mechanical department, should feel ashamed, if nothing else more pragmatic. People really should be sick of outright lies being pawned off to paying customers, which is no way to run a business - either successfully or in any other form. Is there no ethics, no justice, no fairness, no anything anymore?

I was aware of that TSB (Automatic Transmission Fluid leak), but, can't find the actual TSB to read it. Please post it up for everyone, especially if you're referencing it in a response, thank you. (I know, your response wasn't directed at me, I'm curious as well is all)
